What problem does it solve?

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solves the problem of unreliable, hallucination-prone answers by grounding LLM outputs in an external, query-relevant knowledge base you control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Knowledge-grounded Q&A: Answer questions using a curated document corpus (e.g., internal docs, manuals, policies) instead of relying on model memory.
  • Semantic search: Enable natural-language retrieval with embeddings, vector databases, and optional hybrid (dense + sparse) strategies.
  • Better relevance with reranking: Improve which chunks are used by applying reranking (cross-encoders, LLM rerankers, or MMR).
  • Document ingestion pipeline: Cover corpus definition, chunking, embedding generation, indexing, retrieval, and evaluation/monitoring.
  • Use Case: Build a customer-support assistant that answers from product documentation and returns citations, while reducing unsupported claims.

Quick Start

Use the rag-implementation skill to design a RAG pipeline that loads documents, splits them into chunks, embeds them into a vector store, retrieves the most relevant chunks for a query, and generates an answer grounded in the retrieved context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a RAG pipeline for document Q&A?

To build a RAG pipeline, load documents, split them into chunks, embed them into a vector store, retrieve relevant chunks for a query, and generate an answer grounded in the retrieved context.

What is retrieval-augmented generation and when do I need it?

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) grounds LLM outputs in an external, query-relevant knowledge base you control. You need it to prevent hallucination-prone answers and ensure responses use up-to-date facts.

How do I improve semantic search relevance with reranking?

Improve semantic search relevance by applying reranking to retrieved chunks using cross-encoders, LLM rerankers, or MMR before generating the final response.

Does a RAG chatbot support hybrid retrieval strategies?

Yes, RAG chatbots support hybrid retrieval strategies by combining dense and sparse search methods to improve document retrieval accuracy before applying reranking.

What chunking and embedding steps are required for corpus ingestion?

Corpus ingestion requires defining the corpus, chunking documents, generating embeddings, and indexing them into a vector store for later retrieval.

What safety controls are needed for RAG systems handling sensitive data?

RAG systems handling sensitive data require safety controls for access management and sensitive data handling to protect document knowledge during retrieval and generation.
